Introduction to Hydraulics
Question 1
Two engineers are discussing the components required to make an industrial hydraulic system. Engineer A says a reservoir is needed to hold a supply of fluid. Engineer B says a motor driven pump is needed to cause the fluid to flow. Who is correct? A) Only engineer A B) Only engineer B C) Both engineer A and B D) Neither engineer A or B
Introduction to Hydraulics
Compression of Fluids
Two cylinders are shown. One cylinder contains a gas and the other contains a liquid.
If a downward force is applied to the piston in the gas cylinder, the piston will move down and compress the gas. If a downward force is applied to the piston in the liquid cylinder, the piston will not move. Hydraulic cylinders use liquid, which is incompressible.

Hydraulic Fluids
The primary purpose of hydraulic fluid is to transmit force from one place to another.
However, hydraulic fluids are also required to: Lubricate contact surfaces within the system. Provide sealing of components, where tight clearances are involved. Remove heat generated within the system. Protect system components against rust, oxidation and corrosion.
Introduction to Hydraulics
When selecting a hydraulic fluid for an application, consideration must be given to the pressure, temperature and materials of the system.
Improper selection can lead to:
Inadequate system performance. Premature failure of components. The potential for fire. Environmental pollution in the event of loss of containment.
